Title: Didja Ever Notice?
Post by: The Arapaho Kid on January 04, 2005, 07:25:33 PM
Didja ever notice in those old B Western Movies from the 40's and the 50's that those fellers could shoot 29 or 34 shots out of a six shooter...before they tossed it, empty, at the other guy?  And didja also notice when there was a fist fight...someone could get punched right in the chops and his hat never came off.  And didja also notice that when the good guy was fighting the bad guy and the were out on the prairie...there was always a cliff and the bad guy got punched off of it, or he fell off of it?  And didja also notice...the good guys always hat white, or light colored hats and the bad guys had the dark ones?  Were those old "shoot 'em up" Westerns stereotyped....or what?  In all those Westerns...I don't ever recall seeing anyone actually load a weapon and I don't recall ever seeing someone's hat sailing off when they took one in the moosh!  I always wandered why the hats never went sailing.  They didn't have super glue back then and I doubt they were held on with thumbtacks. ???  I don't remember ever seeing Roy, Gene, or Hoppy's hat go sailing off when they got punched!

Item 1.

I saw Roy fighting with a bad guy once.  Ol' Roy was wearing a red and white checked shirt with white fringe.  He and the BG went rolling down a hill, through some brush and the BG must've hit Roy one heck of a shot while they were out of sight for a second or two.

When they came out at the bottom, Roy still had his hat on, his guns were still in the holsters, but the red checks had been knocked plunb off of his shirt.  It was all white ecxept for some red piping on the seams.

I wanna be as tough as Roy some day.

Item 2.

How come the good guys never jump from their horse to the BG's horse and fight until they knock the BG off? Not even in Rustler's Rhapsody.

I always got a kick out of the cowboys slinging their guns as if they were helping the bullets
come out of the gun. ;D
And throwing the gun at the guy after it was empty. ::)

I saw a movie once....don't remember the name of it, but John Carridine was the bad guy.  He was being chased by the posse and firing back at them.  Oooops!  Outa bullets!  So what does he do next?  He tosses his sixshooter at the posse!  About the only thing that would do is bean some poor hoss in the shins!!  Never did understand the logic behind tossing the empty sixshooter at the other guys!

Throwing the gun is male genetics.....ever notice in Little League or PeeWee baseball, when the ball rolled past you, didn't you ever throw your glove at the ball?  Just like in the westerns, I don't think I ever stopped a ball from rolling anymore than anyone ever seemed to hit the bad guy with the empty gun.

In one movie, Hoppy even throws an empty pistol down.  :o

Well......here I am in my (Ooooops!) black hat!  I guess that makes me a bad guy too!  But...I'm a bad guy with a mission!  I provide refreshments for all the other bad guys!  Well!  We can't have all the bad guys running around dry now...can we?

Of all the hats I have that I wear for Civil War, NCOWS, and GAF, only one, the straw, is light-colored, I can only wear it with my Acting Naval Lieutenant uniform, only in the summer, and I don't have that outfit together yet  :(. The others are a blue Navy enlisted man's flat cap, a blue McDowell-style Army enlisted man's forage cap, a blue Army officer's kepi, a black civilian hat, a black woolen beret, and a red knitted sailor's cap. I guess I'm a bad guy, but then, to the rebels, I am anyway  ;D

That's why the movie people called those Colts in the old westerns "Hollywood 45s"  'cause they could shoot 45 times without reloading..
